801	auth_request and PUT/POST problems	Florin Asăvoaie		"I have the following configuration:

{{{
location /myapp {
  auth_request /auth;
  proxy_pass http://some-upstream;
}

location = /auth {
  proxy_method GET;
  proxy_pass_request_body off;
  proxy_pass_request_headers off;
  if ($cookie_auth) {
    set $app_auth ""Token $cookie_auth"";
  }
  if ($http_authorize) {
    set $app_auth $http_authorize;
  }
  proxy_set_header Authorize $app_auth;
  proxy_set_header Host $host;
  proxy_set_header Content-Length """";
  proxy_cache proxyCacheAuth;
  proxy_cache_key $remote_addr$host$app_auth;
  proxy_cache_valid any 15m;
  proxy_pass http://authupstream/random/url;
}
}}}

For some reasons, the subrequest for auth_request is being done and cached correctly and everything works fine with normal GET requests. However, when there is a POST or PUT request with some body, after the subrequest finishes, there is no request made to the upstream of the first location.
